Intervals & Show Days
The interval determines how often you need to complete a habit and how the app groups your progress. Show days control which specific days the habit appears.
Interval Types
| Interval | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Per Day | Meet the goal every day the habit is shown | "Drink 8 glasses of water per day" |
| Per Week | Meet the goal within each calendar week (Mon–Sun) | "Run 3 times per week" |
| Per Month | Meet the goal within each calendar month | "Read 2 books per month" |
Show Days
Within each interval, you control which days the habit appears:
- Daily habits — choose specific weekdays (e.g., Monday through Friday only, or every day)
- Monthly habits — choose specific days of the month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
INFO
Days where the habit doesn't show are simply skipped — they don't affect your streak or HP.
How Show Days Interact with Intervals
If a habit is set to "per day" and only shows on Mon/Wed/Fri, you need to meet the completion goal on each of those three days individually.
If a habit is set to "per week" and you have a goal of "3 times per week", it doesn't matter which days you log — only the weekly total matters. You could log twice on Monday and once on Friday and you've hit your goal.
Completion Goals
The completion goal defines how much counts as "done" for one interval period.
- Simple habits — "1 time per day". Just tap a button to log it. These get a simplified one-tap completion UI
- Measured habits — "30 minutes per day" or "5 km per week". You log specific amounts and the app tracks your progress toward the goal
Changing Your Interval
When you change a habit's interval settings (e.g., switch from daily to weekly, or update the completion goal), the app preserves your history:
- A new interval is created and the old one is closed with an end date
- Historical accuracy is maintained — looking back at March when your habit was "3 times per week", the app evaluates against that goal, not your current settings
- Your streak resets to 0 because streaks are tracked per interval type
- You can view your full interval history on the habit's detail page
Example Timeline
- January 1: Create habit — "1 time per day, every day"
- February 15: Change to "3 times per week, Mon/Wed/Fri"
- March 1: Change to "5 times per month"
Looking back at January 10th, the app knows you had a daily goal of 1. Looking at February 20th, it uses the weekly goal of 3. Each interval is preserved with its start and end dates.
TIP
Start with an achievable goal and increase it over time. It's better to consistently hit a smaller target than to set an ambitious goal and miss it repeatedly.
